The Dow nunatak is a small, relatively isolated nunatak in Marie Byrd Land, West Antarctica . It rises 5.5 km northwest of Mount Sinha in the southwest part of McDonald Heights .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it based on its own measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1959 to 1965. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1974 after Charles R. Dow, a glaciologist at Byrd Station from 1969 to 1970.
